Maria Herman Stand Up Comedian from San Diego, CA

You can take the girl out of Oz, but you can't take the Aussie out of the girl. Maria's observations and friendly Aussie style make her a favorite with audiences and give her global comedic appeal. Point Loma Life Magazine's 5 page cover article called her animated style 'fun to watch and simply hilarious'. Her numerous TV appearances include KUSI's Good Morning San Diego, UTTV's Comic Strip and The Dr Phil Show. Internationally she's performed in Australia several times, and at England's Henley Fringe Festival. Maria is the first Aussie female to perform in India at Mumbai's Laugh Factory; the only comic to grace the main stage at the world renowned EAA-Air Venture in Wisconsin; and the first comic to perform stand up at National Comedy Theatre's San Diego venue when she opened for 'Kids in the Hall's' Kevin McDonald. Maria's outgoing Aussie 'take on life' has been a welcome addition to other Festivals including San Diego Comedy Festival, and the inaugural Laughlin Laugh Fest where she performed on the Rising Female Stars Show. Other stages and clubs include South Point Casino Las Vegas, Edgewater Casino Laughlin, The Irvine Improv, Hollywood Improv, The Comedy Stores and Ice House Pasadena. Maria is also an award winning Radio & TV journalist, news reader; and voice over specialist, whose 'goldfish' character is a favorite on San Diego's sketch comedy radio show 'Keeping it Weird'. And with more than 20 years of MC experience at fundraisers, comedy shows, music fests and state fairs, and 10 years in full time morning radio, she's not only professional but on the spot funny, every time.
